<p>Hmm, going to take a successful IP of another genre and turn it into another generic FPS, because it worked so well in the past (see shadowrun)</p>Thu, 14 Jul 2011 13:27:14 +0000lordlundarcomment 272685 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: 2K Games President Inserts Foot In Mouthhttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2011/07/13/2k-games-president-inserts-foot-mouth#comment-272680
<p>If he doesn't want to do a strategy game, why buy the IP&nbsp;for a legendary strategy game to shit out another FPS?&nbsp;It can't be that hard to do a game like the upcoming Xcom as an original IP, seeing as it's X-Com in name only.</p>Thu, 14 Jul 2011 11:11:04 +0000MechaCrashcomment 272680 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: 2K Games President Inserts Foot In Mouthhttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2011/07/13/2k-games-president-inserts-foot-mouth#comment-272677
<p>It's very hard to make a good turn based strategy game. And as for not selling, haven't <cite>Disgaea</cite> and <cite>Final Fantasy Tactics</cite> sold quite well?</p>Thu, 14 Jul 2011 05:28:49 +0000CyberSkullcomment 272677 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: 2K Games President Inserts Foot In Mouthhttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2011/07/13/2k-games-president-inserts-foot-mouth#comment-272672
<p>Strategy is the all encompassing genre of games that includes the sub genres Turn Based Strategy, 4X, RTS, and Real Time Tactical.</p><p>I still say that there is demand for a Xcom like game, as Xenonauts has finally gotten out of Development Hell, UFO&nbsp;ExtraTerrestrials (a game that takes place on another planet that's like earth) is getting a prequel, and the original creator of Xcom made a game like Xcom on the 3DS</p>Thu, 14 Jul 2011 01:28:36 +0000lomdrcomment 272672 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: 2K Games President Inserts Foot In Mouthhttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2011/07/13/2k-games-president-inserts-foot-mouth#comment-272670
<p>&quot;strategy games are just not contemporary.&quot;</p><p>Which is why I picked up the X-Com game pack on Steam recently and was reliving the days of my youth all over again.</p><p>Meanwhile, which new game will I NOT be picking up?</p><p>The world doesn't need another generic FPS, and certainly not one made from the dismembered corpse of a once and still-beloved IP.</p>Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:41:12 +0000Craig R.comment 272670 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: 2K Games President Inserts Foot In Mouthhttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2011/07/13/2k-games-president-inserts-foot-mouth#comment-272668
<p>Strategy != Real-Time Strategy.&nbsp; The two genres are vastly different enough that I know people who play strategy games but won't touch RTS games.&nbsp; And there are people who are the exact opposite.</p><p>Plants vs. Zombies is Tower Defense.&nbsp; StarCraft II and C&amp;C are RTS games.</p><p>- Left4Dead</p><p>Why are zombies always eating brains? I want to see zombies that eat toes for a living. Undead-related pun intended.</p>Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:02:04 +0000Left4Deadcomment 272668 at http://www.gamepolitics.com
